ATTENTION:
Currently the Emory SOM Electives Program is on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and scheduling cannot be completed for this academic year until further notice.
VSAS is still open but may eventually close to prevent additional applicants from applying. Additionally, no international student's elective applications will be accepted during the closure of the program.
Updates will be provided as they become available.

Emory’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery offers four-week visiting clinical rotations throughout the academic year. All applicants should provide proof of passing the USMLE Step I exam and have completed at least one Orthopaedic rotation at their home institution.
Applications are requested a minimum of two months prior to the desired month of the rotation. Rotations are filled on a first come, first serve basis with eight being the maximum number of rotators for each four-week period.
The calendar of rotations will follow that of Emory Medical School but other schedules may be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Each rotator will spend two weeks on the Orthopaedic Trauma Service at Grady Memorial Hospital, followed by two weeks with another Emory faculty member at Emory University Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital, Egleston Children’s Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, or the Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center. Requests will be honored when possible.
